Story behind the song
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God." (John 3:16-18)

He’s the
[CHORUS]
BRIDGE
He’ll change your heart, renew your mind
Put His Spirit inside
Don’t waste more time, wicked and blind
You’ll truly find He’s the
CHORUS 3
One way to change this heart condition
Where life begins and old life’s permanently gone away
A refraction, a new attraction to what is right, part of another faction
Right here, right now, from the inside out
Right here, right now, ignite a chemical reaction
Yeah a chemical reaction
